For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of shortening in the crust. A touch of nutmeg or allspice can be added to the apple mixture for extra warmth. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Mar 31, 2025My family loved these! They were gone in a flash. I used Granny Smith apples, and they provided a nice tartness that balanced the sweetness of the sugar.
